What does MULISH mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Stubbornly unwilling to change an opinion or yield to argument.
Mulish takes its meaning from the mule, an animal with a long reputation for refusing to budge once it has made up its mind. A mulish person is not merely firm but unreasonably fixed, ignoring good advice and sometimes sulking. It is a little stronger and more scornful than the plain word stubborn, and it fits best when someone digs in for no good reason. The word can describe an attitude, a face or a refusal.
How MULISH is used
Mildly critical; often paired with nouns such as obstinacy, refusal or silence.
